    STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN STANFORD 2017/18 BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 Approved: This Budget Plan was approved by the Stanford University Board of Trustees June 14–15, 2017. This publication can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/pres-provost/budget/plans/plan18.html STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN 2017/18 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To The Board of Trustees: It is a pleasure to submit my first Budget Plan as Stanford’s provost. This budget maintains our university’s pre-eminent academic and research programs. It calls for selective investments in high priority areas. It also strengthens our financial base, thereby providing the foundation for the strategic initiatives expected to emerge from the Long Range Planning process. Our approach in developing the 2017/18 Budget Plan has been a cautious one. Slow growth in endowment payout and uncertainty around government sponsored research have created a planning context in which we have reduced the growth of new program investment compared to recent years. At the same time, we have increased our financial reserve position should external funding conditions deteriorate. We are confident this budget both furthers Stanford’s programmatic objectives and maintains a strong underlying financial condition. This document presents Stanford’s 2017/18 Budget Plan for Trustee approval. The Budget Plan has two parts. The first is the Consolidated Budget for Operations, which includes all of Stanford’s anticipated operating revenue and expense for next year. The second is the Capital Budget, which is set in the context of a multi-year Capital Plan. The budgets for Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health, both separate corporations, are not included in this Budget Plan, although they are incorporated into the university’s annual audited financial report.

    PRESS RELEASE Construction begins on Sunnyvale Hilton Homewood Suites 4-story hotel is part of a new development vision by the City of Sunnyvale DECEMBER 13, 2018, SUNNYVALE, CA – Northern California developer SWENSON announces the start of construction on a 119,797-square foot, 4-story hotel, which will offer 127 stylish guest suites upon completion. Located on the 1.49-acre parcel at 830 E. El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, the new Hilton Homewood Suites will also include a subterranean parking structure level with 102 parking spaces. As the City of Sunnyvale gears up to revitalize El Camino Real through chain and franchise businesses with a full range of local and region-serving retail, the Hilton Homewood Suites project is an important piece in sustaining growing interest from the community. As the city continues to grow, the hotel will serve the public by providing a trend-setting hotel for anyone visiting Sunnyvale. The ownership group, Sunnyvale HHG Hotel Development, and SWENSON are excited to build out the project and open its doors for business. “Recognizing the needs of tech-industry business travelers as well as leisure travelers and tourists, Homewood Suites is an excellent addition right in the heart of Silicon Valley. With home-like accommodations that meet the needs of both extended-stay travelers and short-term guests, the Homewood Suites by Hilton is the perfect fit for this area,” says Toby Cheng, VP Sales & Marketing for HHG Hotel Development. “Located on El Camino Real, the main corridor between the majority of cities in Silicon Valley, the Sunnyvale Hilton Homewood Suites is just up the road from the new Apple headquarters and conveniently close to tech giants like Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, and many more.” Construction of the project expected to be completed in fall 2020 with a grand opening scheduled for October of 2020.

    The HP Garage—The Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California

    Brochure A home for innovation The HP Garage—the Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California HP Corporate Archives Brochure A home for innovation Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined residential street near Stanford University, the HP Garage stands today as the enduring symbol of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. It was in this humble 12x18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard first pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men went on to blaze a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution. The history of the HP Garage The HP Garage in 1939 (top) and The garage stands behind a two-story Shingle restored in 2005 (bottom). Style home built for Dr. John C. Spencer about 1905. The exact construction date of the garage is unknown, but while there is no evidence of its presence on insurance maps dated 1908, by 1924 it is clearly denoted on updated documents as a private garage. In 1938, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard decided to “make a run for it” in business. Dave left his job at General Electric in Schenectady, New York, and returned to Palo Alto while Bill scouted rentals. The garage was dedicated as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley in 1989, and HP acquired the He found one perfect for their needs on Addison property in 2000. HP is proud to have worked Avenue. Chosen specifically because of a garage closely with the City of Palo Alto to return the he and Dave could use as their workshop, the house, garage, and shed to conditions much property also offered a three-room, ground- as they were in 1939.
